Angles in hyperbolic lattices : The pair correlation density

Number Theory 2017-07-12 v2 Dynamical Systems

Abstract

It is well known that the angles in a lattice acting on hyperbolic nn-space become equidistributed. In this paper we determine a formula for the pair correlation density for angles in such hyperbolic lattices. Using this formula we determine, among other things, the asymptotic behavior of the density function in both the small and large variable limits. This extends earlier results by Boca, Pasol, Popa and Zaharescu and Kelmer and Kontorovich in dimension 2 to general dimension nn. Our proofs use the decay of matrix coefficients together with a number of careful estimates, and lead to effective results with explicit rates.
